Unfortunately, this has happened and is likely still happening on lemmy (mostly for comments and not posts). see here.

If you do it en masse, reddit detects it and sends your account a warning. It’s purposefully built to make you use the API.

it’s so essy to make a bot too. And reddit is earning loads through the API so they don’t bother to stop it.

Honestly. I’ve found nearly every medical professional hates when you know more than them about your disease. In my experience it sort of makes them treat you worse. So I tend to try and steer things into the way I want them without being explicit if you know what I mean.

Say I want to try low dose naltrexone (which is a cheap non-patented drug, that has minimal side effects and may help a few autoimmune diseases, research is mixed, and since there’s no patent no one is bothering to actually conduct large trials).

Instead of asking if I can try the drug. I’ll ask the doctor if they’ve heard of it, what they think of it. Then say I have the kind of symptoms the drug helps. I guide them towards what I want instead of saying it explicitly. Because for some reason, saying it explicitly seems to raise red flags and you never get what you want.

But yeah I have a stigmatised disease that was psychologised for decades and doctors treat you horribly in general when you have it so maybe I need to resort to measures that others might not need to.

I don’t think the worst part of the covid pandemic was a shortage of toilet paper. I would have guessed it’s the tens of millions who died and were disabled for life, and still are being more and more every day.

I think the above comment was sarcastic

I think it’s more about giving people who were already scared an illusion of safety and control. But that’s just my opinion.

As the UK National Archives comment under it. “[it] seemed remarkably naive”. And it was. Guess they were focusing more on trying not to freak people out.

Forgieners are the easiest to blame for your problems. But they often are the exact opposite of them.

I was just thinking of that. Wtf happened. It was all a PR stunt I guess.

Maximum monthly donation should be tied to minimum wage for 1 day of work. Realistically, who (unless you’ve got malicious intent or you’re rich as fuck, in which case I’ll assume malicious intent), is going to donate more than 1-20th of their income to a political party. Want to donate more? Choose a charity instead.

(And a bonus) this law would probably break the gridlock on increasing minimum wage.

Please don’t give me medical advice. I know what I have. I have a multitude of non-autoimmune diseases triggered by COVID which fall under the umbrella term of long covid. I did not ask for advice. I just wanted to vent.
